In the winter of 1897, Elspeth Howell treks across miles of snow and ice to the isolated farmstead in upstate New York where
she and her husband have raised their five children. Her midwife's salary is tucked into the toes of her boots, and her pack
is full of gifts for her family. But as she crests the final hill, and sees her darkened house and a smokeless chimney, immediately
she knows that an unthinkable crime has destroyed the life she so carefully built. Her lone comfort is her twelve-year-old
son, Caleb, who joins her in mourning the tragedy and planning its reprisal. Their long journey leads them to a rough-hewn
lake town, defined by the violence both of its landscape and of its inhabitants. There Caleb is forced into a brutal adulthood,
as he slowly discovers truths about his family he never suspected, and Elspeth must confront the terrible urges and unceasing
temptations that have haunted her for years. Throughout it all, the love between mother and son serves as the only shield
against a merciless world. A scorching portrait of guilt and lost innocence, atonement and retribution, resilience and sacrifice,
pregnant obsession and primal adolescence, The Kept is told with deep compassion and startling originality, and introduces
James Scott as a major new literary voice

From bestselling author Neal Stephenson and critically acclaimed historical and contemporary commercial novelist Nicole Galland
comes a captivating and complex near-future thriller combining history, science, magic, mystery, intrigue, and adventure that
questions the very foundations of the modern world.When Melisande Stokes, an expert in linguistics and languages, accidently
meets military intelligence operator Tristan Lyons in a hallway at Harvard University, it is the beginning of a chain of events
that will alter their lives and human history itself. The young man from a shadowy government entity approaches Mel, a low-level
faculty member, with an incredible offer. The only condition: she must sign a nondisclosure agreement in return for the rather
large sum of money. Tristan needs Mel to translate some very old documents, which, if authentic, are earth-shattering. They
prove that magic actually existed and was practiced for centuries. But the arrival of the scientific revolution and the Age
of Enlightenment weakened its power and endangered its practitioners. Magic stopped working altogether in 1851, at the time
of the Great Exhibition at London's Crystal Palace--the world's fair celebrating the rise of industrial technology and commerce.
Something about the modern world "jams" the "frequencies" used by magic, and it's up to Tristan to find out why.And so the
Department of Diachronic Operations--D.O.D.O.--gets cracking on its real mission: to develop a device that can bring magic
back, and send Diachronic Operatives back in time to keep it alive . . . and meddle with a little history at the same time.
But while Tristan and his expanding operation master the science and build the technology, they overlook the mercurial--and
treacherous--nature of the human heart.Written with the genius, complexity, and innovation that characterize all of Neal Stephenson's
work and steeped with the down-to-earth warmth and humor of Nicole Galland's storytelling style, this exciting and vividly
realized work of science fiction will make you believe in the impossible, and take you to places--and times--beyond imagining

In her acclaimed 1993 book Denying the Holocaust, Deborah Lipstadt called David Irving, a prolific writer of books on World
War II, "one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial." The following year, after Lipstadt's book was published
in the United Kingdom, Irving led a libel suit against Lipstadt and her publisher. She prepared her defense with the help
of a first-rate team of solicitors, historians, and experts, and a dramatic trial unfolded. Denial, previously published
as History on Trial, is Lipstadt's riveting, blow-by-blow account of this singular legal battle, which resulted in a formal
denunciation of a Holocaust denier that crippled the movement for years to come. Lipstadt's victory was proclaimed on the
front page of major newspapers around the world, such as the London Times, which declared that "history has had its day in
court and scored a crushing victory."

It first surfaced in the gripes of GIs during World War II and was captured early on by the typewriter of a young Norman Mailer.
Within a generation it had become a basic notion of our everyday moral life, replacing older reproaches like lout and heel
with a single inclusive category-a staple of country outlaw songs, Neil Simon plays, and Woody Allen movies. Feminists made
it their stock rebuke for male insensitivity, the est movement used it for those who didn't "get it," and Dirty Harry applied
it evenhandedly to both his officious superiors and the punks he manhandled. The asshole has become a focus of collective
fascination for us, just as the phony was for Holden Caulfield and the cad was for Anthony Trollope. From Donald Trump to
Ann Coulter, from Mel Gibson to Anthony Weiner, from the reality TV prima donnas to the internet trolls and flamers, assholism
has become the characteristic form of modern incivility, which implicitly expresses our deepest values about class, relationships,
authenticity, and fairness. We have conflicting attitudes about the A-word-when a presidential candidate unwittingly uttered
it on a live mic in 2000, it confirmed to some that he was a man of the people and to others that he was a boor. But considering
how much the word does for us, and to us, it hasn't gotten nearly the attention it deserves-at least until now

The story of the American West is the story of a relentless quest for a precious resource: water. It is a tale of rivers diverted
and dammed, of political corruptions and intrigue, of billion-dollar battles over water rights, of ecologic and economic disaster.
In Cadillac Desert, Marc Reisner writes of the earliest settlers, lured by the promise of of paradise, and of the ruthless
tactics employed by Los Angeles politicians and business interests to ensure the city's growth. He documents the bitter rivalry
between two government giants, the Bureau of Reclamation and the US Army Corps of Engineers, in the competition to transform
the West.Based on more than a decade of research, Cadillac Desert is a stunning expose
